"But her emails . . . " I'm sure there are plenty here who just couldn't pull the handle for Hillary because reasons.

Yeah. Tribalism. It's there. It won't be used. Elections have consequences.

Well, there is error correction. But like I said, it's pretty well neutered by tribalism. And dial back the hyperbole. I don't know what you do for a living, but the fact that you indict the entire judicial system because some bad actors exist within it seems pretty ridiculous. It's not perfect. We get it. But what most of us are doing our best to accomplish here (on Surly) is explaining how things tend to work for the uninitiated and calling out bullshit in the system where it arises. And some of us are doing our best to uphold the pillars of fairness and impartiality within the system.I don't know what you expect anyone to do in response to your constant complaints and hand-wringing. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it's fucked. It's a little bit of both. But the fact that some of us are not running around here like our hair is on fire just yet isn't the equivalent of a sexual kow tow to something you're decided to be wholly ineffectual. If there's something to be fixed, let's fix it. How do we go about that? Is it whining on the internet? No. But keep fucking that chicken for all the good it does. Are you a shepherd? What do you do for a living? I'm sure your industry is a model of perfection.

Well, there is impeachment, but tribalism has all but nullified that avenue.

Because it can only be one thing. Okay, Curly. I think I'm on record for some time now that it likely is both bias and incompetence. The fact that I don't predict the future or speak in absolutes should not be interpreted as a change in opinion just because I don't have a conclusion paragraph at the end of every post on the subject.

Right. Unless it's somehow inextricably intertwined with infowars, it's a separate action. I get the feeling that the plaintiffs and their lawyers will be all too happy to continue pursuit. I get the feeling that the plaintiffs do not wholly equate justice with dollars but rather with making Jones pay.

This is the problem with appointing ideologues to positions of power regardless of experience. Elections have consequences. The contrast between Cannon and Merchan could not be more stark.

Right. "Go buy things from this website instead to support me." But he's got to get the money somehow. Cash? Any bank account he has access to that hasn't been disclosed is going to get him another round with the long dick of the law. It's hard to publicize siphoning money subtly. Too subtle and your minions don't get the message. Get the message out there and the B/R Court catches wind. Poor Alex

That looks nice. I thought about picking up a fiesta red strat body a few years ago, but the appearance of that color online seems to vary quite a bit to the point where I forget what F/R is supposed to look like. I guess if it has a nitro finish, you'll get some nice fade and it won't matter.

As I mentioned before, the bankruptcy division for the Southern District has an extremely low tolerance for bullshit. If there are fraudulent transfers, they will go after them.

Regardless of bias, he's spot on in his assessment. She exhibits classic "baby judge" tendencies, which contributes to the delay through an inability to be decisive and a reliance on unnecessary briefing and protracted hearings on red-herring issues that could be disposed of efficiently on submission by a more experienced jurist. Bias will be most evident in untenable rulings in Trump's failure which ultimately are dispatched by the appellate court. But any bias combined with inexperience is similar in effect to opioids on the digestive tract of the judicial process.

Does Surly have enough in the banner fund to buy infowars?

When it's too hot outside to actively hunt squirrels.

Streaming for all? This is how it should have been done from the beginning. I'm up for a rerun of a really old game from time to time. I'll download it if it's free.

I checked under the couch cushions. And, nope. No FTG.

This is correct, but some people have incredibly short memories, voted for Biden in 2020, and somehow identify as undecided. I wouldn't call them the brightest. But I'm told they're out there.

Gonna save you a spot on the elevator, insurance man!

Last one for a while. De Buyer Pro 9.5" omelette pan. /That's the darkest season I've ever gotten from one round in the oven. It looks like teflon, but that's iron.

Rocking a Lodge 5.5qt, which Lodge sent me as a replacement for the one that chipped after 8 years. All, in, I'm in for $60. Le Creuset surely is head and shoulders better. But I love a deal, and this thing has been a workhorse.

Crap. I bought another omelette pan yesterday. I'm running out of room (poor)

That's a big file and it zooms in. Point wasn't rotated. It's okay. Good sandwich stuff. And you are appropriately not sweating it. I've definitely done the same thing for the same reason (and worse).

Mauviel M'Cook, 5-ply stainless for 53% off through their eBay store. It's a little lighter than the Cuisinart FC, but it's a nice size and 2.6mm thick. /dog hairs on the cooktop ftw.

I switched my notification settings to receive an email if someone responded to a "for sale" ad I have, and I'm not getting 10 emails per day about Surly threads I didn't realized I had followed. The following part probably happened by accident through TAPA. I started unfollowing threads before finally getting sick of the process. Is there a way to unfollow everything and start over in a few clicks?

I could pick at things here and there too, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good. I was there for the best of it in the 90s, and I'm still in it for the overall good time I've had while I'm at the shows. LOL at "doesn't have the chops." Yeah, he's older just like we are and some of the speed is gone, but he's not in Dead & Co. territory just yet. The dude still can flat out rip it. And I'll reiterate, I was there in the 90s too. So I understand the generality of where you're coming from. Nonetheless, the second set from the 4th night at the Sphere melted my face enough to get me back to see them again in the future. I'll watch clips on youtube, but I don't couch tour. That's not the experience.
